RS4 B5 - are they really that quick?

Hear hear to all the above. Mines running am MTM remap and full Milltek icluding DP's to a supposed 460- although Doug at MRC suuggests it may be bit optimistic. Whatever, my missus has just got her own insurance and has been itching to give it a go- until last Friday when I decided to give her a reality check and floored it in 3rd- she's now 'reconsidering her position'. With suspension and brake upgrade theres not much to top an RS4- Saturday saw a hopeful Carrera giving it a go on the A3 and he probably thought he'd engaged reverse when I went nuclear in 4th....
You really need to check one of these baby's out...... After all they're 10 years old and still embarrassing modern stuff.

Steve

looks like they're real weapons. sound like fighter jets when on full chat right?
are they sluggish from stationary? how much lag until the turbos throw you forward?

Put it this way. I had a blast with a DB9 last week with 3 up and all our holiday bags in the back and I still pulled about 3 car lengths away from 50mph rolling start in 4th!!!! Where can you get a car that looks so classy, handles well and will rip the <beep> outta most supercars like DB9's, Maserati's and Porkers?

It's just such a lovely bit of automobile exotica!

However handling is dramatically improved with uprated anti-roll bars and PSS9 or KW 3 suspension. Balance now becomes perfect and with dampers set to a firmer setting handling is great.

Add your 460-470 hp which is easily attained with a simple remap and full exhaust mod and then a set of Brembo 6/8 piston calipers or the like and you have a real weapon on the track with the luxury and comfort of what Audi offers. Notwithstanding the convenience of the avant.

They are wallowy but remember it's a big car. Tiff when he first reviewed this car loved it and the only way he could get the back end out was to use some handbrake action!!!

If its pure speed and bhp you want to see, there are quite a few youtube vids of RS4's and S4's showing the potential power you can get from these engines.. anything from a simple remap with K04s to cars running gt28rs's and even more mental than that!!!
Here are a few nice vids showing how brutally quick these cars can be made to go... i'm sure there are plenty more i've not found yet too
